Above is my enigmatic contraption (well almost a silhouette).
Concerning the Makhonine I should insist on my interpretation. The 123 has an elongated glasshouse cockpit in addition, hanging at the root of each wing, a voluminous container where apparently the landing gear main legs retracted.

European Carson?

Must be French then? :)

Possibly the Hanriot H-38?

Yes Karlark:ok:, it is indeed the ill-fated Hanriot H.38 built in 1926 and powered by two Hispano-Suiza 8Ab
Your turn of course

Thanks Carson, Here's another flying boat for consideration:

The outline of this floater is unmistakable: it is the Richard-Penhoët 2 of 1926 powered by five Jupiter engines (420HP each)

Looks like a 'bitsa' to me. German front end, British back end.

Sorry for the delay gentlemen,
Yes, it is a A.G.O. CIV of 1917

De Havilland DH.91 Albatross prototype?

G'day Mechta. :)

Albatross it is. Your Control.

Thanks Noyade! I couldn't believe it having been away from here for so long, that the current challenge was, not only something I recognised, but also to me, one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built. As Roger Bacon used to say, 'Ah, De Havilland!!!'
